I wanted to be as complex as your poetry.
I wanted to be perfect to be understood.
I wanted to be naive to look grown-up.
I wanted to sound appealing to you to realize that I'm here.
I am the unwritten poetry.
Perfection does not exist.
But you exist.

It was a long time since anyone had looked at me.
We are beats of a heart.
I am the tear in the corner of your eye that never fell.
I am the emptiness and the cold and something without meaning.
When I close my eyes.
All I see is you.
You said that I was poetry
The compass that helps you search the meaning of life.
I am joy, lifeΒ  sense,Β  the smell of nostalogy.
No need to say you love me now.
Just feel.
It connects with my energy.
Come scream at me so the world can hear us.
You and I are complete.
We are a love song.
I wrote a song for you to know the immensity of my love.
In the silence of dawn.
I was thinking about you.
I remembered all the time you made me smile.
The silence of dawn was our mistress.
The moment was so magical.
That we spent hours talking about love.
I wanted to stay here all night, lying on the floor and in the dark
But then it started to rain.
Time passed outside ....
But I was with you.
